Hazelnut Rocky Road

Some people complain about the current heatwave that we are having, but I LOVE it. The only thing that is a little difficult is cooking things in the oven because the kitchen gets slightly sauna-like. So here's a no-bake traybake- a super sweet and nutty rocky road.

You know I can’t help myself adding Nutella and nuts to everything. And traybakes are no exception! Nutella is smooth and creamy and delicious and basically, once I realised that you could sub out some chocolate and butter for a little Nutella, my baking world became a little larger.

These are great little squares, perfect for making with little ones as there's not much heat or cooking involved. I think they make a very cute addition to a party table or are also great for taking into work. 

They're very sweet and a little crunchy and a little chewy and very, very delicious.

Ingredients

• 75g softened butter
• 200g dark chocolate
• 175g nutella
• 3 tbsp golden syrup
• 200 g rich tea biscuits
• 75g mini marshmallows, or normal ones chopped into pieces, with more for on top
• 50g hazelnuts
• 50g chocolate chips plus more for on top

Method

Melt together the butter, chocolate, Nutella and golden syrup, gently in a saucepan. Stir occasionally until all melted together.

Bash the biscuits into coarse crumbs (and some larger bits are ok) and add into a bowl alongside the marshmallows, hazelnuts and chocolate chips.

Pour over about 2/3 of the thick and delicious melted chocolate mixture and mix it all through so that all the dry ingredients are coated.

Press into a baking tray and place in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to set slightly.

Remove from the fridge and pour over the remaining melted chocolately mixture. Scatter a few marshmallows and chocolate chips on top and let set in the fridge for at least an hour.

Slice up and serve!
